"Full marks for La Vinsobraise, with three excellent wines in this selection, including the appellation's only Favorite . A blend of Grenache (60%) and Syrah aged in oak for a year, this Cuvée Excellius combines intense vanilla, chocolate and toasty notes with more "natural" nuances of ripe fruit and sweet spices. The palate is majestic, impressive in its volume, concentration and smoothness, supported by silky tannins, perfectly balanced oak and a touch of freshness that brings a welcome kick of nerves to the finish. Built to last. (Le Guide des Vins de France 2017) Delivery in wooden cases for orders of 3 bottles of this wine.
